Not a top shelf rum for the price.

When I got my hands on a bottle of this I was very excited. I opened this at a rum tasting with friends at the same time we all taste Diplomatico. Needless to say no-one preferred the Zacapa 23. It has a very strong alcohol hit that seems at odds with the claim for a blended 23 year old. Even so my whiskey drinking partner still preferred the Diplomatico.

I'm giving it a 6 because it should be a 7 if it weren't so expensive. It is still a relatively impressive cocktail rum in the end.

Decent

It needs to be in everyone's cabinet, it's good on the rocks and for the not so much rum drinkers you won't be too upset if they mix it with Coke or juice.. It's a decent starter rum for sure.. I recommend it over ice

Mmmmm....

Very good balance! Smells marvellous. Nothing that can spoil the experience of a perfect rum... Does not have a particular taste that takes over, but the perfect blend of flavours makes this an excellent choice for any lover of great rum!

Great to start rum experience

Ron Zacapa 23 Solera, its easy. Very smooth rum which I use for friends to introduce rum to them. And to be honest, it works well. The smooth taste has already convinced several of my friends to start rum life.
